Trump says Iran talks 'orderly' as US keeps naval blockade until deal

US President Donald Trump said negotiations with Iran are progressing in an "orderly and constructive" way and that he has directed American negotiators to move cautiously rather than rush a final pact. He reiterated that the U.S. naval blockade on Iran will remain fully in place until any agreement is formally approved and signed. Trump also said a preliminary deal had been reached to end the conflict in the region and to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, but that final details are still being worked out.

Stakes and conditions

Trump urged both sides to allow sufficient time to reach a comprehensive, carefully drafted settlement, warning that the current phase allows no room for error. He described U.S.-Iran relations as becoming more professional and effective, while stressing that Tehran must understand it will not be permitted to acquire or build nuclear weapons. as reported by SANA
